Hello everyone, In my current project, I am dueling with harvesting VisualStudio Outputs with heat. The theme is somewhat controversial, as I've seen people saying the process is not deterministic and that it would be better to do it by hand, but I have far to many projects and files to deal with.
I've searched and read some tutorials but i seem to fail something right from the beginning. I've added the project references that I needed, and set it's property of "harvest" to true. the next step would be to unload the Wix project, and edit the .wixproject, to add the heat "configuration". I simply followed a couple of steps that seemed common on some tutorials/blog posts. (like this http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/simplify-deployment-with-visual-studio-and-wix.aspx ) When trying to harvest the output of the Webproject (called "Web") I start getting some problems. The problem now is that I reload the project and get the following error: "The harvest type was not found in the list of loaded Heat extensions." The HeatDirectory that I'm writing is the following: <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <ItemGroup> <LinkerBindInputPaths Include="%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\PackageTmp\" /> </ItemGroup> <HeatDirectory DirectoryRefId="INSTALLLOCATION" OutputFile="Web.config" Directory="..\Web\" ComponentGroupName="SourceComponentGroup" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)" PreprocessorVariable="var.SourcePath" AutogenerateGuids="true"> </HeatDirectory> </Target> Let me know if there a simple way to do this, any clear tutorial would be great. Note: I'm using Wix 3.7 and VS 2012 Thank you all, José ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
